Southern California Medical Fraud Experts React to Tampa Bust

Los Angeles medical fraud analysts are closely following a breaking story out of Tampa that may have broader implications for white collar crime prosecution. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office staged a raid on a local medical rehabilitation clinic on July 16th and arrested four people in conjunction with an alleged scam to bilk insurers by staging fake car crashes.

The four people busted – Jacqueline Rosales, Sugeidi Serrano, Juan Martinez, and Ernie Azucey — will face charges of managing a racketeering influenced corrupt organization – a.k.a, a RICO. Essentially, according to reports, the individuals staged car crashes and then submitted claims to insurance companies for non-existent damage and medical bills.

After all, charges of Los Angeles insurance fraud, Southern California credit card fraud, racketeering, and medical fraud of any kind tend to be multifaceted, dynamic, and extremely complicated. Unless your attorney has experience dealing specifically with your kind of case, you may struggle to be able to come up with an appropriate response to the charges. In short, you could face jail time and other unpleasant punishments.
